My Birthday

Okay... since I have a few pics... here are some more details on my birthday. On Sunday, Sep. 1, the Petes were at our house for dinner, and they were pressuring me to come up with some birthday food/activity ideas. I finally gave in and said, "steak and shrimp and white choc/raspberry cake" for dinner. And a shopping trip with Ashley and Hailey. So... dinner at Andersons was steak, shrimp, salad, fruit, sour dough bread, and cake. Blowing out thirteen candles on the cake, just about did me in. 😉Actually, I am doing very well for 68. I am still stuck trying to lose another 10-12 lbs, but generally I feel great. I usually walk about 2 miles a day and I am trying to stick to the weight watchers points again. I sleep pretty well and I try to drink lots of water every day. Then also low sugar, low carbs, and high protein meals. Hailey made the bread. She has been excited about making sour dough bread lately. Audrey made the cake. The shopping trip might be this Friday (Sep. 13). Petes gave me a gift card to use when we go shopping and Audrey gave me a couple of picture frames and some fingernail polish. The best part of my birthday was showing up to Sunday dinner without making anything. Since I had a free afternoon, I worked on some Halloween, Brown Baby Bird items. I took some chocolate cupcakes to our primary class, for my birthday and President Nelson's birthday. They were a Krusteaz gluten free mix and I used almond milk in it. Those were the best cupcakes ever! 😎They have been messing up my weight watchers points this week. I finally put four of them in the freezer for another time. Ron and I went out for dinner, on Friday evening, to Outback. I wanted him to feel like we did something for my birthday. I guess my bday gift that I bought for myself was some new kitchen and bathroom towels. The colors are perfect for both places. 😉 The last picture is one that Ashley got. (I was wondering if anyone else had pics 😏)
